Not likely on your memory, I've run mine at 1600 Cas 11 and gotten 5:35-5;55. At 2133 I get 5:35-45. It makes no real difference on these SMP units, bigadv was another matter. Unless the memory is defective (which memtest would show) it shouldn't be the problem. If it was the memory you could downclock to 1333 and it should get worse, assuming the memory won't run at higher clocks. I think you are sick of hearing from me so I'll leave your thread alone. Good luck.Edited by valkeriefire - 8/4/12 at 1:12pm

it passed memtest.... all advice is welcome in this thread.
I've ran all the normal benchmarks and it's on par or better than my 2600K @ 5.1 w/ 2133 memory. I also went through the bios several times and played with enabling and disabling different things and still get the same TPF. Lost....

If what you are saying is correct, then you have pretty much completely ruled out a hardware issue. That only leaves one thing, a problem with your windows (which is unlikely since other benchmarks are good) or your Ubuntu setup. I assume followed the guides here on Ubuntu setup. If you did it from memory, perhaps you missed something.Edited by valkeriefire - 8/4/12 at 2:40pm

on 6908, I get around 8:30 TPF on my i5-3570K @ 4.757ghz /w my Tridents running at 2428mHz 9-11-11-30 tRFC 100 (this is in winblowz)....non-native...no vm...are your cores averaging the same temp? have you tried reducing down to 3 cores to see if there is a difference? whats your TPF at a lower clock? bus clock?

You've exhausted my limited knowledge, I'm surprised the senior folders haven't chimed in.
Have you called Jordy in Engineering and told him you need more power?

Thanks for all the suggestions!

cores are within 2-3C of each other(I delidded and applied PK1 between the IHS and die. dropped temps by 16C). My tpf at 4.8 is around 7 min. and @ 4.6 is about 7:30-8 min.
